So doesn't Ukraine have a right to defend itself from Russian ships launching missiles? Do you really think the "agreement" excludes hostile actions against Russian naval assets known to be involved in this type of activity?
Like usual, your people aren't in the WH so its time to disagree and biyach about every decision they make. Rinse and repeat. You've been doing this for YEARS.
a fan still has you pegged for this M.O.
I would note that while, as you stated, "your people" were in the WH, Russia wasn't so ambitious. In fact, the whole time Trump was in the WH your side was accusing Putin of conspiring with Trump to defraud the American people. Ukraine was invaded twice, under two D administrations. Weakness invites aggression, a lesson taught over and over throughout history.
Do tell us how the former DOPUS acted tough with Putin in four years?
Try the blue kool-aid.
Did I say he acted tough? You don't know what was said to Putin and neither do I. Trump was a "Peacenik" compared to the warmongering establishment (D's and R's), whose loyalty is to the Military Industrial Complex. As a SC resident, I long for the day when Graham retires. Try the red pill, it results in way fewer deaths. See Afghanistan under Trump.
60 dead American solders under Trump doing the slow bleed; 13 under Biden and it was over. Biden was the only President to keep his word about getting us out of Afghanistan. Trump and Obama did the slow bleed believing the generals that the Afghans would ever fight for themselves.
But they might fight for Pootie's caterer...

Afghan special forces soldiers who fought alongside American troops and then fled to Iran after the chaotic US withdrawal last year are now being recruited by the Russian military to fight in Ukraine, three former Afghan generals have told the Associated Press.
They said the Russians want to attract thousands of the former elite Afghan commandos into a “foreign legion” with offers of steady, $1,500-a-month payments and promises of safe havens for themselves and their families so they can avoid deportation home to what many assume would be death at the hands of the Taliban."
